Arkansas defensive tackle Ernest Mitchell paid a $150 fine after being charged with “possession of an instrument of crime” (not a saxophone, I’m guessing.)

Mitchell was pulled over in June because allegedly his license plate wasn’t properly displayed.

Cops then found a small amount of what they believed to be marijuana and a handgun in the car.

No word on what punishment, if any, Bobby Petrino will hand down for this.

Mitchell is penciled in as a starter on the D-line, but he missed all of Spring practice while rehabbing a knee injury.
